Charity Film Night....

by The Squirrell 31. March 2012 13:17

A plan was hatched! "Typical Matt" style!!....

 

I try to raise £ when possible for the QEH trust and my friend

Henry also supports the Macmillan Cancer charity.

 

Recently we had a "Charity Motoring Film Night"!!

 

Henry kindly loaned me his car showroom for the evening which made

an ideal venue and sat around 60-70 people! We got all the cars

(& Dog!) out, mopped up any oil, and began the hard work!

 

My friend Andy Warren was kind enough to loan me 2 motoring films he had

made about the "History of Motorsport in Bristol", and one of an event

we ran last year at Dyrham House, "Spirit of the 60s" a classic car event.

 

We got an LCD projector and mounted it in under a beam, and fixed a screen

to the end wall. Found an PA system/speakers and plugged in all in!!

 

I hired a LOAD of chairs, and got a local brewery to sell me a barrell

of thier beer at a discount ("All for charity mate!")

 

We put up 2 gazebos (For the "Bar" and "BBQ") and then after a days

or twos work transformed a car dealer into a ("Heath Robinson"!!)

CINEMA!!

 

We all worked hard, but the hard worked paid off, and we cleared £££

for our chosen charities!

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
